if an [easy] default is a desirable feature, then the most popular desktop is the logical choice.
this to be implemented with the understanding that opensuse 'supports' both Gnome and KDE equally.
But I think this is the argument. Some feel that by selecting a default that we are setting a precedence that one is preferred over the other by the community and thus giving the impression that they are not supported equally.

To that I would respond: The new users that we are trying to attract* wouldn't care, they just want an option that is as easy as ubuntu manage (read: install because they will equate one with the other) Distro-hoppers would know:
that opensuse provides equal support for both Gnome and KDE Novell is comitted to Gnome as a result of its commercial suse products.
If a newb-friendly default is TRULY valuable then the inconvenience of no longer being the Mahatma Ghandi of distro's will be worth it. * why are only 5% of users linux newbs, is it because ubuntu hoovers them up with its newb-friendly experience? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
